I love the way you think, but you must be single.

Looks like a big dog living there. With 5 dogs I buy lots of those. Some have said not a great idea putting a bike in the house.....why? I don`t see a problem, unless its leaking fuel.

Your "secure undisclosed locationville" must be way up north....to me it still seems way too early to even think about winterizing the bikes.

I might roll my R12S into the basement this winter. I have a door at ground level and I know it fits.

I am pretty sure he cannot see California from where he lives!

28" seems like a very narrow exterior door, closet door maybe, but not exterior.

The Atrium Doors were made to fit in where a 5' or 6' sliding door had been..For houses built in the 70s and 80s with crappy metal sliders it was an improvement-but not great for access...Every case I know of it is an auxiliary door on the patio, not an entry door as we call the front or kitchen door....

two australian cattle dogs.

seems to me the ideal solution. i have six months of snow ahead of me. why not drag the thing into the living room?

...years, and years ago I had my new bike inside the house as well...
...couldn't get the Honda down in the basement, so we decided to use the hallway as our new garage...

...worked out perfectly...

...I could polish and watch TV at the same time...

...oh..., and we were not single...

Please don't try to ride it indoors without proper ventilation, varmint. I'm concerned about the dogs' health and well being.

somewhere in ohio...

...for a two-day race, it was about 20 degrees lower-than-stupid cold outside and we had to do a last minute engine swap just hours before tech inspection.

third floor room (elevator), halfway down the hall.
all went well until the stupid maid service ratted us out.

by the time mr. manager stormed in we'd replaced the guilty with two seemingly non-english speaking japanese mechanics, who were exceptionally good at appearing surprised that engine tear-downs were not allowed in american hotels. apologies all around, while they finished assembly.

still got slapped with a clean up fee.
when corporate got the bill they were upset, thinking we'd partied/trashed a room.
when we explained what we were really doing...all was fine.

HA! Is "On any Sunday III" being considered - that story right there would be a great addition.
